Wellness Treatment
The Brechel Bath
Sweating - Farmer´s Style
The origin of the Brechel Bath refers to textile production. During the process of textile production the stems of flax and hemp had to be dried by a dry heat. After that the stems could be broken (beaten) by a beater (Breche(l) / German) and afterwards damped in a humid heat.
During the process of beating the farmers themselves started to sweat. Soon they got aware of the advantages of a “sweat bath”, because of that already in 1790 many farmers in Rauris region near Salzburg had such a bath tub in front of their houses.
The well-tried Brechel bath oven forms the centre point of this extraordinary bath adventure still today. The herbal vapour infusions set free the natural aroma of camomile, elder, juniper, sage and others. This creates a pleasant hazy and cosy atmosphere.
The mixture of intensive hot air phases and cooling stimulates blood circulation in a gentle way. Body and skin temperature will rise considerably, frequency of the heartbeat and blood circulation will “get going”. The Brechel Bath is ideal preparing the skin for further wellness treatments.

The Kraxen Oven
Herbal power – Alpine style
For hundreds of years hay and straw has been carried down into the valley on s. c. “Kraxen” on the back of the farmers. The smell out of those “Kraxen” must have been intensive and pleasant, especially on sunny summer days.
The modern Kraxen oven awakens those old natural healing powers of the Alps´ hay. The visitor sits next to the oven while spicy herbal vapour rises behind his / her back. The carefully warmed up hay sets free the natural compound cumarin which is a healing substance of the hay, and can be absorbed through the skin and respiratory tracts.
The visitor can breathe deeply and relieved while medical herbs unfold their soothing effects. The combination of the hay produces a mild, circulatory-saving rise in warmth, which relaxes muscles immediately, activates the skin surface and increases perspiration.
The Oriental Rasul Bath or Wilhelminen Bath
Experiencing the magic of the Orient
Already in 400 b. c. the Greek physician Hippocates knew about the special effect of medical mud, and till today physicians and patients appreciate this. With the Rasul Bath selected mud is used, which matches the various parts of the body.
The visitor moisturizes him/ herself with this special mud in a heated herb vapour room. Because of the low humidity the mud gets dry on the skin.
After a first vaporising of the room it fills with a pleasant smell. Heat and humidity are slowly increasing, and the skin starts to prickle pleasantly. After about 30 minutes a tropical rain starts to remove the mud from the skin.
The Relaxing Floating Couch
The feeling of weightlessness
The visitor lies on a comfortably tempered couch and gets wrapped in a thermo mat filled with a warm liquid and after that gets sunk with it. This effects some kind of a “floating” position without pressure points which guarantees total relaxation of muscles and bones.
Here you can chose from a variety of warming packs (alga, Cleopatra, goat butter, evening primrose oil, chocolate, and in summer additionally papaya) depending on your requirements. The rich contents of valuable additives stimulates the metabolism of the cells and blood circulation. Purge is generally supported and the skin will look well-groomed.
The Sand-Light Therapy
Warm light of the South
When days get shorter and the light outside gets darker, the visitor can take pleasant warmth with the sand-light therapy. Harmonic surroundings of sun, sand and the murmur of the sea invites you to let yourself go.
Laying on nice and warm sand the visitor lives a late summer day at the Mediterranean Sea within 30 minutes. Modern technology creates a natural spectrum of light, which feels very pleasant and can be well tolerated over a longer period of time.
The Soap-Brush Massage
Soft pleasure to skin and body
Still today the classical skin brushing, which is done with a sisal nest and an especially foamed soap, is the best preparation for the sauna. The visitor of the spa lies on a pleasantly warmed couch. His/ her skin gets slowly and intensively massaged. This guarantees a perfect peeling.
(In summer this massage can be given on open air.)
The Comfort Massage
The pleasure of touch
The visitor gets treated from head to toe by skilful hands for about 20 minutes. The special thing about this massage is the variety of oils which of the visitor can chose. The effects of the massage can be refreshing, cheering, anti-depressing or relaxing which depends on the oil chosen. This massage can even help with purging and skin diseases.
The Pantai™ – Luar Massage
“Setting out for new shores” - profit from the knowledge of the Far East
Pantai-Luar is a traditional whole-body massage with spice-fruit stamps from East Asia. Special about this massage is the use of stamps heated up to about +140° C in oil.
Quick, short touches of the stamp lead to cell production, which stimulates metabolism and purge of waste products in the skin. When, thereafter, the skin gets massaged with the stamp a pleasant warmth is floating through the entire body. Side effect is a soft peeling. Fruit acid makes it easier for effective substances to get inside the deeper layers of the skin, and connecting tissue can be strengthened.
Use of stamps enables a treatment on the spot. In Germany Paul Haslauer has developed a variation of this type of massage called Pantai™ -Luar, which means “heading for new beaches”. The whole physiotherapist team has been trained on this special treatment attending advanced courses in theory and practice. The Haslauer Company guarantees the highest standard of all applied material like oil and stamps.
The stamp treatment stimulates a “repair system” of the skin. Muscle bracing can loosen. The result: more energy that inspires!
